When you have big dreams and live outskirts of the Rotten Apple, as is the case with Rockland County’s own E-Prosounds, the journey can seem more memorable than the destination. For his first single off of his debut album, The Divine Mind, you can feel the hunger and confidence that E-Pro has for earning his bargain of cash for jargon. Over a smooth yet punctuated beat that only Ron Burgundy’s Jazz flute could match, we step into the minivan with E-Pro, his squad, and some dog hairs, as he showcases that a kid from the ‘burbs can flow with the best of ’em. There’s no confusion that he’s studied some of Boom Bap’s greatest, as we get the first taste of what it’s like inside The Divine Mind. And don’t take offense to the hook. After all, you’re not one of those kids that’s snoozing on their dreams, right?

About E-Prosounds:

All the way out in the suburbs of Rockland County, NY, the spirit of DITC and classic 90’s boom bap is strong with a 24 year old rapper/producer. E-Prosounds, formerly E-Professor (to avoid any beef with Large Pro down the road), can’t stop Hip-Hop from running through his veins. Whether it’s thinking of writing rhymes, tapping out beats, cutting up records, or the occasional tag, E-Pro lives and breathes this stuff.

Although he started recording rhymes on his mom’s computer in High School, he started seriously conceptualizing his music in 2013. His days of listening to CD 101.9 FM Smooth Jazz and love of 90’s Hip-Hop heavily influenced his somber, dense style. E-Pro’s deliberate choice of a serious feel comes from his goal of making you really reflect on his music, as if you were on a subway watching graffiti pass you by. He may come across as cocky at times, but it’s evenly balanced by his thoughtful opinions on deeper themes. When asked what he’d like his legacy to be like, he replied with “I’d just like to be someone who made quality music and stayed true. It’d be cool if people uploaded my music and shared it on their own, and if I get love for years to come that’s good, like get respect from people I admire.”
